Celia, I've a notion that we ought to giveBen something. A sort of peace-offering,you know; for he feels dreadfully hurt aboutour suspecting him," said Thorny1, at dinner that day.
"I see he does, though he tries to seem as brightand pleasant as ever. I do not wonder, and I've beenthinking what I could do to
soothe2 his feelings. Canyou suggest any thing? ""Cuff-buttons. I saw some jolly ones over at Berryville,oxidized silver, with dogs' heads on them,yellow eyes, and all as natural as could be. Those,now, would just suit him for his go-to-meeting whiteshirts, -- neat, appropriate, and in memoriam."Miss Celia could not help laughing, it was such aboyish suggestion; but she agreed to it, thinkingThorny knew best, and hoping the yellow-eyed dogswould be as balm to Ben's wounds.
"Well, dear, you may give those, and Lita shallgive the little whip with a horse's foot for a handle, ifit is not gone. I saw it at the harness shop in town;and Ben admired it so much that I planned to give itto him on his birthday.""That will

His blue suit and straw hat pleaseme better for a boy; though a nicer little groom, inlivery or out, no one could desire, and you may tellhim I said so.""I will, and he'll look as proud as punch; for hethinks every word you say worth a dozen from any oneelse. But won't you give him something? Just somelittle trifle, to show that we are both eating humblepie, feeling sorry about the mouse money.""I shall give him a set of school-books, and try toget him ready to begin when vacation is over. Aneducation is the best present we can make him; andI want you to help me fit him to enter as well is hecan. Bab and Betty began, little dears, -- lent himtheir books and taught all they knew; so Ben got ataste, and, with the right encouragement, would liketo go on, I am sure.""That's so like you Celia! Always thinking ofthe best thing and doing it handsomely. I'll helplike a house a-fire, if he will let me; but, all day, he'sbeen as stiff as a
